Instructions
- For Bhalla: Soak the split green moong beans/daal and de-husked urad beans/daal overnight in water
- In morning wash nicely rubbing them so that some of the husk of green moong daal washes away
- Now in grinder, grind both the pulses without adding water, do not over grind it we want a coarse mixture.
- Once you achieve a nice batter. Take it out in a big bowl and keep it covered. Let it rest for 5-7 hours.
- After 5-7 hours your batter will rise and would look like foam.That’s the ideal texture

- Now take buttermilk in a bowl and add ½ cup water to it
- Whenever you feel like enjoying these yummy Low Fat, Non-Fried Dahi Bhalla, you can rinse them and assemble with curd, tamarind chutney and spices.

Excellent idea to use silicon moulds to bake the bhallas. Loved the tip to keep the bhallas immersed in buttermilk until serving with curd.
